My second full day in Paris has been particuarly busy with visits to most of the major museums and tourist attractions. Paris is a lovely city and may be the number one tourist destination in the world, but my God the Parisians need to learn some manners and service ethics! So far I have been ignored, walked away from, shoved …

I am now in the legendary city of Paris home of The Louvre, Palais de Versailles and so far the rudest service staff I have met in years! But before I talk about Paris I wanted to talk about Oulu. Waiting for my flight to leave for Oulu Airport I looked at the Departures board and it did make me …

It’s been a pretty laid back couple of days up here in Oulu, Northern Finland. It’s such a small area city (about 120,000 people) and the lifestyle is very much different to what I am used to. I did really want to say how fantastic the seats and service were on my Finnair Flight from Tokyo to Helsinki. It was …

The woes of trying to stay connected while travelling are hilarious. Although the girls have an Internet Connected computer they are not quite as obsessed with the web as we are (the boy and I, I mean). Consequently they do not have a wireless network or a network that I can actually hack into. So instead I am relying on …

I am using the girls coputer as I still need to get a converter so I can charge my own notebook computer, so I am trying to use a weird key board and everything is in Finnish! I have to say that having full sleeper seats all the way from Sydney to Helsinki and then having to be jammed into …

After three flights and nearly thirty hours of travelling, I am here, with the girls in deepest darkest Finland! The view is from their apartment and these are their two Whippets Hiski and Jalo (aslo known as JLO) More to come tomorrow but I am jet lagged and generally fucked!

I am waiting for my flight from Tokyo to Helsinki which should be in about another two hours or so. I have quite a few comments about the trip thus far, in particular the total stupidity of not being able to buy contact lenses solution thourgh Sydney Airport Security, and not being able to buy the required container of less …

In just a few short hours (well over twelve in fact) my holiday begins! Tonight I will fly from Sydney, transiting through Tokyo, Helsinki to end up in Northern Finland in a small city called Oulu. Where I will meet up with the Finnish Lesbians and their two whippets! Realistically my trip is going to be quite boring to most …

I am so bloody excited only one day to go till my holidays! Now I did get an email from one of the Girls who I am staying with in Finland and it would seem that one of the activities she has planned for me is… Berry Picking in the forest! And there are bears in the forest too! I …

My main web host has been upgrading their servers the last couple of days which meant that this and other sites all went down or went ‘wonky’. I really hate it when people or businesses do not provide the service for which you either pay for or are expecting. I am a real stickler for people ‘doing the right thing’, …
